From Fed Printing Press to Your Portfolio: The Rising Cost of Inequality

Wealth is all the stuff you own that has value — money, houses, land, businesses, stocks, and even assets like art or gold. Wealth inequality means that some people have way more of this stuff than others. Imagine if 10 kids were in a room and one kid had 95 candy bars, while the other nine kids had to share and fight over the remaining five candy bars between them. That’s wealth inequality.

The Buffett Halo: Why Traders are Piling into Healthcare After His $1.6 Billion $UNH Stake is Disclosed

Enter Buffett. No fanfare, no hints dropped to CNBC, no “Buffett tracker” countdown. Just a quiet, $1.6 billion stake built while everyone else was chasing shiny objects in tech. And then — boom — the filing hits in mid-August. $UNH rips higher. Traders pile in. Investors nod like old sages. One disclosure. Two reactions. But the bigger story? Buffett just planted his flag in the middle of a battlefield most investors were too scared to step foot on.

How Reliable is Government Data? Trading Strategies for the New Cost of Living Economy 

The headlines tell one story. Your wallet tells another. “Inflation is cooling,” the reports declare, but your grocery bill, rent, and utilities haven’t gotten the memo. If anything, the numbers on the receipt seem bolder every month. For traders, that gap between the official narrative and the lived experience isn’t just frustrating, it’s dangerous.

Winners Keep Winning: Why Top Relative Strength Performers Deserve Your Attention

Everybody’s heard of the Magnificent 7 — AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META, NVDA, TSLA — the rockstars of the modern stock market. Most folks treat these names like they’re sacred relics handed down from the financial gods. And hey, looking at their cumulative returns since IPO, who could blame ‘em?

The Wheel Strategy Explained: A Beginner’s Guide to Cash-Secured Puts and Covered Calls

You only need to remember three steps: Get paid to maybe buy a stock (by selling puts). This obliges you to buy the stock at an agreed upon strike price between now and the expiration date. Get paid to maybe sell that stock (by selling calls). Once you are assigned the stock you reduce risk by selling call options and collecting premium. Rinse and Repeat.

Trade Like a Pro: Use Relative Strength to Crush the Index

What makes Relative Strength so compelling is its versatility, its flexibility, and above all — its philosophy. This isn’t just another technical indicator buried inside a charting platform.

The AI Arms Race: Why Traders Are Front-Running Infrastructure Giants

We’re six months deep into 2025 and the S&P 500 is up less than 3.5%. That’s it. After all the headline-chasing, pulse-pounding reversals, and late-night stress sessions watching futures tick red… you’re sitting on a gain that barely keeps up with a savings account. Meanwhile, traders have been whipsawed by the ten-headed beast of macros: sticky inflation, Fed mind games, geopolitical powder kegs, and enough bond market volatility to rattle the teeth out of a risk manager. A.I. stocks soared, oil prices spiked, and the only thing more unpredictable than the markets was the messaging from central banks and Capitol Hill. Bottom line? That’s a lot of stress for just 3.5%. And if you’re not using A.I. to navigate this mess, you’re flying blind in a storm built for machines.
